LOCATION
Westerville
Event Details
Discover the three distinct building eras knitted together to become what is now the Westerville Public Library at 126 S. State Street, located in the vibrant historic Uptown Westerville district.
Eras include:
- 1850s home of Agnes Meyer Driscoll (WWII’s famous codebreaker, Madam X), which then became the headquarters to the Anti-Saloon League of America in 1910
- 1955 original library building at this site
- Turn-of-the century renovations and additions that created today’s library
Tour the library’s public spaces and behind-the-scenes areas (including the Westerville History Museum’s collections storage space) and see unique and often-unnoticed details of the building. The tour will include the significant history of our community’s library, which began long before it was on today’s site.
